This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I have no words

Mr Syme represented me in a Criminal Case. I was the last person I thought would ever get into trouble but wrong crowds put me there. I had never been in trouble before. All I can say is I thank him from the bottom of my heart. Mr. Syme took me on as a client and at all times was very professional... and kind. James has a lot of knowledge and experience. He always made himself available to me. He was aggressive with my defense and I knew he had my best interest at heart. Thank you so much for getting me that second chance to get back on track. It's been 14 years and I'm still on track and never been in trouble again. If I were to see him on the street I would give him a big hug! I highly recommend him.

I'd trust him with a blank check

My family has used Mr. Syme for an assortment of legal issues over the years and every time the results have been as good or better than what was expected. I myself spent 7 months in court working on custody issues with the ex. Mr Syme did not give me unrealistic expectations and helped me to achieve... conclusions in the most equitable and cost effective manner possible. My ex's attorney insisted on drawing everything out and keeping the meter running the whole while. The ex ended up paying thousands more than I did for legal representation and the final decision was nearly word for word in line with my initial petition. The man is old school, he'll shoot you straight even if you don't like the answer, and most importantly he genuinely cares about his people. I wouldn't even think of trusting anyone else...

The best in the west!

Absolutely the best! You can't find a better lawyer anywhere. I incurred a substantial debt due to medical expenses. Jim was able to contact my debtors and make things right. My wages were about to be garnished and he prevented that as well. Thanks Jim!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
